As I was leaving the office party tonight everyone started hugging me. The first one to do so, I was all "ohhhhh, we're hug ging" awkwardly I say this. I am a hugger, but not office people.
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

Just react with cheek pinching.
Man, I'm in a weird mood.

I'm sure that video I linked didn't help.

No, no it did not.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Office people no touchey. Unless you're having a hot office romance but you should probably hide it better.
New Guy took Newer Guy out for lunch today. I sense a Power Consolidation play.

No, no it did not.
I'm sorry. I just want you prepared for snickering.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh lord, was I traumatized when I got hugged by the CEO at the end of her holiday party last year.

I get traumatised just watching coworkers hug each other.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Yeah, hugging at work is not on. A world of no.

No harm.
Only coworker I have hugged outside of the ones that are close friends was my officemate when he got laid off. Man, that was weird. But I was crying, too. So epic weird. I miss him. My middle boss gets touchy to all after parties (booze) but I can deflect that.
